  • Palestinian Exclusion Shows the Limits of Kamala Harris’s Politics of Joy

    The Democratic convention’s giddy vibe shift is shadowed by ongoing war and a failure to hear Palestinian voices. his year’s Democratic National Convention is more likely to be remembered for its giddy mood than for any memorable turns of phrase or innovative policy ideas. Democrats have been on an emotional high ever since Joe Biden withdrew his presidential bid and Kamala Harris was elevated as the party’s presumptive nominee. Suddenly, all the anxiety of the last year—much of it based on a realistic fear that Biden was not up to the job of defeating Donald Trump—evaporated, practically overnight.

    The left-wing New York Times is warning Democrats that “joy” is not a political strategy that will put Vice President Kamala Harris (D) in the White House. Following the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Patrick Healy wrote in his opinion piece that the convention’s message for the nation, if it were to be placed on a bumper sticker, would say “HARRIS IS JOY.” Healy continued: Don’t get me wrong — there are many worse things than joy — but I cringed a little in the convention hall Tuesday night when Bill Clinton said Harris would be “the president of joy.” Joy...

    Chicago: It's a show about nothing. Why would anyone watch it? Because it's on television. Truly a more vapid campaign has never been held in the modern era. Platitudes galore. Policies and substance zero.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — At the top of his first speech as her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz turned to Vice President Kamala Harris and declared, “Thank you for bringing back the joy.” The next day, Harris took the theme a step further, branding the Democratic ticket “joyful warriors.”

    CHICAGO, IL — Attendees at the Democratic National Convention and potential voters watching on television at home were treated to a special historic moment last night, as an angry old man bellowed at them to vote for a happier, brighter future. President Joe Biden was dug out from storage and dusted off to make a brief appearance on the DNC stage, where he ranted irately at viewers and attendees to make their choice in November's presidential election based on happiness and positivity. "CHOOSE JOY!" screamed a red-faced Biden as he repeatedly pounded his fists on the podium. "There is a...

    This week, the Democrat National Convention comes to Chicago to (officially) nominate their new and never before voted on (in the 2024 cycle) candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, for President of the United States. And her “stolen valor” but acceptable-to-the-Democrat-antisemitic-base, vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz. Which makes this another good time to discuss the state of play for the 2024 presidential race. The Real Clear Politics national average has Harris with a 1.2 percentage point advantage over former President Donald Trump. The average has been going up and down as of late; the irrational exuberance of the Democrats has ended,...

    Ruins from giant Nazi beach resort sold in Germany Thu Sep 23, 1:11 PM ET ROSTOCK, Germany (AFP) - Ruins from a massive vacation resort built by the Nazis on the Baltic island Ruegen were sold at auction to an anonymous buyer for 625,000 euros (768,000 dollars). The concrete-block lodgings, built in the 1930s to accommodate some 20,000 people under the Nazis' Kraft Durch Freude (Strength Through Joy) leisure program, stretches 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) along one of Germany's most beautiful sandy beaches. The federal government had been trying to unload the structure, known as the Colossus of the Baltic...
